(Reuters) – Jarrod Parker, who was favored to be the Oakland Athletics' Opening Day starter entering spring training, will undergo elbow surgery and miss the Major League Baseball season, the team said on Monday.
The right-hander was scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday and was examined on Monday because of soreness and tightness in his pitching forearm.
Parker had forearm issues last season as well and previously had Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow in 2009 while in the Arizona Diamondbacks' system.
The 25-year-old recovered from that surgery to post a 13-8 record with Oakland in 2012 and last season went 12-8 with a 3.97 earned run average, yielding 178 hits in 197 innings to help the A's win the American League West title.
This spring, Parker had struggled to a 10.61 ERA in three starts.

With just a few days until the opening kickoff of a new college football season, it's time to think about what will happen in 2014. Most experts have made conference predictions, listed Heisman Trophy favorites and made College Football Playoff predictions for this year. While those may be some of the more interesting conversations, there are still a few other areas of the sport to discuss and predict.
Here is a list of 10 bold predictions for the 2014 college football season.

Along with the Nokia 700 and the 701, Nokia also announced a third phone, the Nokia 600. The Nokia 600 is an all-in-one entertainment hub, and has the dubious honor of being the loudest smartphone to date.
The Nokia 600 packs a 3.2-inch display with nHD (360×640) resolution. Like the 700 and 701, the Nokia 600 is also powered by a 1GHz processor and packs 256MB RAM along with 2GB of internal memory. The other key features of the Nokia 600 include a pentaband radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM Radio, N FC and a microSD card slot.
The back of the handset sports a 5MP camera with an LED flash. The 600 is also capable of recording videos in 720p HD resolution. Beside the super loud speaker, the 600 also comes with an FM transmitter. The FM radio also has an internal antenna, so users can listen to FM radio without plugging in any headset.
The Nokia 600 will be available in a variety of colors including black, white, pink and lime. Like the other Belle powered handsets announced by Nokia today, the 600 would also be available sometime in Q3 of this year. The handset will set you back by EUR180, excluding taxes and subsidies.

Tour de Eats: Take in Honolulu While You Eat at Three (or Four) Restaurants a Night
Food crawl around Honolulu with Kalapawai Cafe, Saeng's Thai, Formaggio Grill, Yakiniku Don-Day, Sushi ii, City Cafe, Jinroku, L'Aperitif and Ailana Shave Ice.
(page 1 of 5)
Here's an idea: You don't have to have your full meal at one restaurant. You can eat one course, get up and go (don't forget to pay!), and move on to the next restaurant. Call it progressive dining, or call it a food crawl. Master sommelier Patrick Okubo calls it "the best of everything—I get my favorite thing from every restaurant in one night."
Okubo is one of the youngest master sommeliers in the nation, and one of only three in Hawai'i. He's currently the wine educator for Young's Market Co., a wine and spirits distributor. I get the sense he would like all meals to be grazing events; at the farmers' markets, he praises the prepared-food vendors who offer small bites, preferring to nibble here and there rather than committing to just one plate.
At a recent event, he mentioned that progressive dining is his preferred way to eat while traveling, so he can pack as many restaurants into a trip as possible, or on dates, as a fun activity, a break from the norm. It's like speed dating for restaurants. Curious about Okubo's stops on a progressive dinner, I asked him to take me on one. At the very least, I figured I'd drink well. He didn't say no.
Tour No. 1: Windward Trek
We focused on Kailua, where Okubo used to live when he opened Formaggio, before he quit to focus on his sommelier exam. A week before our dinner, Okubo sent over an itinerary:
5:30 Kalapawai. Charcuterie plate.
6:30 Baci Bistro. Veal scallopini.
7:45 Saeng's Thai. Ikura quail egg sushi.
9:00 Formaggio. Dessert.
At Formaggio Grill, Rick Takashima serves Patrick Okubo a moscato sunrise.

I wouldn't have been surprised if the schedule were in military time; Okubo is also part of the National Guard. Usually I'm the dinner dictator; It's nice to put the pressure on someone else for a night. Also, sushi at a Thai restaurant? I am intrigued.
Tip 1: Weeknights are best, and start early, no matter what. Restaurants are less likely to be busy, making it easier to slip in for an appetizer.
At Kalapawai Cafe, we start with a glass of Tilia chardonnay from Argentina, which has a pleasant acidity that gets my appetite going, and a Côtes du Rhone blanc, a Viognier blend from Guigal winery, with more body to stand up to the charcuterie platter, which consists of prosciutto, bresaola, salami and duck prosciutto. The duck prosciutto is a standout—velvety, with just the right salty finish. Sitting outside, sipping two glasses of wine, nibbling on cured meats, we all too quickly lag behind in our schedule. This is dining as sport; we need to get back on track. Okubo calls Baci to let them know we will be a little late.
Tip 2: Okubo will usually make reservations for the middle restaurants because they might be busy by the time he gets there. He'll tell them he's only coming in for one course so they can plan reservations around that.
Baci Bistro feels preserved in time, with its vintage wallpapered, sloping ceilings, green drapes, crystal chandelier and Bill Duvall, the friendly owner greeting every guest. Its menu, too, is classic: Italian-American dishes that have fallen out of favor with the new, ingredient-obsessed Italian restaurants opening these days, here and across the country. Okubo and I share the Vitello alla Baci—veal pounded thin, dredged in flour and sautéed with capers, sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts, all adding a touch of acidity and sweetness. To drink: Masi Campofiorin, from Italy's Valpolicella region, with deep red cherry tones, and yet low tannins, pairing well with the mild veal.

2 firefighters shot, killed while battling New York blaze
(CNN) -- At least two firefighters died when they were shot at the scene of a blaze in upstate New York on Monday, police said.
Two other firefighters were injured, police in Webster, New York, told reporters.
Authorities believe one or more shooters took aim at the firefighters after they left their vehicles, Police Chief Gerald Pickering said.
It was unclear whether there were any suspects.
"We have different individuals that were possible people with knowledge, but at this point I can't really comment," Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn told reporters.
For hours, the gunfire stopped firefighters from working to extinguish the fire and forced police SWAT teams to evacuate homes in the area.
Firefighters first arrived before 6 a.m., said Rob Boutillier, Webster's fire marshal. By 9 a.m., flames had engulfed three houses and a vehicle, he said.
"It's still an active crime scene," Pickering said. "We have firefighters there at the location. It took a while to make it safe ... to put out the fires."
Doctors were treating the wounded firefighters Monday morning, said Teri D'Agostino, a spokeswoman for Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York. They were in guarded condition, she said.
One firefighter escaped from the scene in his own vehicle about an hour after he was shot, then was taken to the hospital by an ambulance from another location, Boutillier said. He was listed in satisfactory condition, Boutillier said.
Another wounded firefighter was conscious and speaking when he was removed from the scene, Boutillier said.

Moving Up
Moving Down
Michael Vick, Eagles
Eagles head coach Andy Reid is pondering a change at quarterback. The wife of Eagles head coach Andy Reid is pondering which real estate agent to hire.
Philip Rivers, Chargers
The days of Rivers being an elite NFL signal caller are over as are the days of him being an elite fantasy option. With the Browns on tap, he threw for just 154 yards, his 2nd sub-200 passing yard performance of the season. He's also a turnover machine with nine interceptions and three lost fumbles in seven games.
Running Backs
Moving Up
Doug Martin, Buccaneers
Martin owners are hoping the team has a few more nationally televised games on the schedule. He introduced himself to the league's fans in a big way last Thursday, running roughshod over a solid Vikings run defense for 135 yards and a touchdown and adding 79 yards and another score through the air. That was nice. Equally as nice is his schedule the rest of the way, which features just one top 10 run defense between now and the end of the season.
Jonathan Dwyer, Steelers
I keep asking myself why the Steelers would hand Rashard Mendenhall his starting job back and I can't come up with one. He's a free agent at the end of the year, he can't stay healthy and oh yeah, Dwyer has solidified the run game with a pair of 100-yard efforts over the last two weeks while averaging a nifty 6.7 yards per carry. You have to assume the job is his until he puts up a clunker.
Darren McFadden, Raiders
Mr. Buy Low is about to become Mr. Easy Sledding. Run-DMC ran well this week, gaining 137 yards on 33 touches against the Chiefs and faces a solidly ranked yet so-so Bucs run defense this week. After that, its swiss cheese as the Raiders will face run defenses ranked 20th or lower every week except one (the 15th ranked Broncos in Week 14) between Weeks 10 and 16. Make your offer NOW.
Ronnie Hillman, Broncos
The Broncos said they were going to start feeding their rookie 3rd round pick and they did it this week, handing the ball to him 14 times with Hillman having the best game of his young career, gaining 86 yards on the ground. He brings a speed element to the Broncos offense out of the backfield and he could be in line for a big second half of the season. At this point, he's a bit too speculative to start in most standard leagues but I would roll with him in the flex spot in 12-team leagues.
Moving Down
Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants
After a pair of monster performances in Week 5 and 6, injuries have caught up to Bradshaw and he has struggled mightily over the past two weeks, gaining 121 yards on 34 carries and looking pedestrian. A touchdown in Week 7 saved his fantasy performance but look for Andre Brown and David Wilson to get more work until Bradshaw proves he has returned to full health.
Alex Green, Packers
Moving Down three weeks in a row! It's a MU/MD record. How much longer can the Packers start this guy? While Green has averaged a respectable 7.0 points per game over the last four games, it is all volume based as he is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. Either James Starks is still suffering from the effects of a turf toe injury he suffered in the preseason or he keeps taking Mike McCarthy's parking spot.
Steven Jackson, Rams
It's officially a timeshare in St. Louis with Jackson basically splitting reps 50/50 with rookie 7th round pick Daryl Richardson. And with the Rams offense failing to top 20 points in their last six games, Jackson is no better than a RB3 for the balance of the season.
Wide Receivers
Moving Up
Mike Williams, Buccaneers
Dude is back. Time to ditch the Michael Clayton comparisons. Tampa Bay's offense is rolling and Williams is part of the reason why as he has hauled in 25 receptions for 436 yards and four touchdowns over their first seven games of the season. He had a modest performance this week with six receptions for 68 yards and a score but would have padded those numbers if the Vikings would have kept the score closer. Williams is proving he can beat single coverage and that means something with the running game on the uptick.
Titus Young, Lions
I told you last week that Young or Ryan Broyles was in line for more work and that Young was the guy to gamble on. Sure enough, this week he had his best game of the season and of his two-year career, hitting the 100-yard receiving mark for the first time. Young caught all nine of his targets for 100 yards and a pair of scores, including the game-winner against the Seahawks.
Michael Crabtree, 49ers
Sometimes numbers lie. Crabtree had five receptions for 72 yards and a pair of scores this week – nice numbers but not eye popping. However, this was clearly a superb performance as he lit up Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, catching all five of his targets while showcasing some run after the catch ability and excellent hands. Tough to rely on him given the 49ers propensity for running the ball but this was possibly the best game of Crabtree's four-year career.
Cecil Shorts, Jaguars
He's the Jaguars number one wide receiver at the moment and was targeted a healthy 12 times this week, giving him 22 over his last two games. He topped 100 receiving yards for the first time this week, gaining 116 yards on eight receptions, giving him his 2nd game in a row with double digit points.
Sidney Rice, Seahawks
Since I had basically written him off, Rice has 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns over his last three games. Let's call him a low end WR3 over the balance of the season on the assumption that rookie quarterback Russell Wilson shows some improvement.
Moving Down
Calvin Johnson, Lions
Just the facts, folks. Six receptions on 19 targets over his last two games for 80 yards. For a guy this talented to put up those numbers tells us that his knee is bothering him more than he's letting on. With just one touchdown in seven games, Johnson has no chance to match his 16-touchdown count from a year ago.
Hakeem Nicks, Giants
Similar to Johnson, Nicks just hasn't looked healthy and has nine receptions for 99 yards and no touchdowns over his last two games.
Tight Ends
Moving Up
Jason Witten, Cowboys
Those of you (and us since I grabbed him as a TE2 in a 12-team league) who gambled on Witten and his lacerated spleen have been rewarded in recent weeks but the piece de resistance came this week against the Giants, with Witten grabbing a Cowboys franchise record 18 receptions for 167 yards. That gives him 43 receptions for 411 yards over his last four games with, alas, one touchdown.
Rob Gronkowski, Patriots
Stating the obvious here but after finding the end zone just (for him) three times and topping 61 receiving yards just one in his first six games, Gronkowski has scored two touchdowns in each his last two games and scorched the Rams this week with 146 receiving yards. His services were needed to block for a couple of games but the O-line has improved leaving Gronkowski able to go out on patterns on a more frequent basis.
Moving Down
Greg Olsen, Panthers
After a decent start to the season, Olsen has gone stone cold in the Panthers last three games as his usage has declined. He has caught just nine passes for 91 yards over that span of games.

ARCADIA — Police arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder and other crimes early Sunday after he tried to drive himself and a woman over a cliff, then barricaded himself inside the home of the Santa Anita Dam keeper for seven hours, authorities said.
Patrick Anthony Gonzalez, 21, of Los Angeles was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries prior to being booked into jail, Arcadia police Lt. Mike Castro said.
The incident began about 6:30 p.m. Saturday when officers responded to reports of a car that had crashed into a guardrail along Chantry Flats Road, just within the northern city limit, the lieutenant said.
"Further investigation revealed the driver of the vehicle intentionally hit the guardrail in an attempt to kill both himself and his passenger — changing the focus of the investigation from a traffic accident to attempted murder," Arcadia police officials said in a written statement.
The woman, whose age was not available, was unhurt, police said. Officers searched the area but did not find the driver.
Gonzalez and the woman were believed to be in a relationship or formerly involved in a relationship, Castro said.
But several hours later, just before 1:20 a.m., police received a 9-1-1 call from the home of the dam keeper at the Santa Anita Dam reporting an intruder inside the house, officials said.
The dam keeper and his wife got out of the home safely, but the intruder remained inside, Castro said. It was determined the man who broke into the house was the same man involved in the earlier crash.
Police made repeated attempts to order the suspect — later identified as Gonzalez — to surrender, but he remained holed-up in the house, police said. The residents also advised police that there was a loaded gun inside the house.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department SWAT team members were summoned to the scene and took over the stand-off.
After a little more than seven hours, they entered the home and took Gonzalez into custody, according to Arcadia police.
He was hospitalized in unknown condition for injuries he was believed to have suffered in the crash and while fleeing from it, Castro said. He was not believed to have been injured during his arrest.

Do you folks have any to share?
Do you folks have any to share?
Are you asking for specific missions to fly within our existing NTTR layout?
Which I'm assuming you've already downloaded from here:
Correct, cheers.
We dont have any specific pre-planned missions really. We normally rely on each other, on our assigned flight nights, to whip up a scenario or decide to have us work on specific tasks or techniques. Well choose a target on a particular range and then work on ingress, weapon(s) delivery and egress. While we have the ability to turn air defenses on or off as we see fit in our NTTR, you can add SAMs, AAA, ManPads or other live defenses as you desire. Fire up your imagination and ask If I wanted to hit X with MK-82s but there was a SAM or a pair of Shilkas at Y then how would I terrain mask to get in, get my bombs off, and then get back out?
Its a giant sandbox and the only limit is how you choose to use it.
Ah ok, understood, thanks!

Even though I am a thrower and live in a comfortably but not excessively cluttered house, I enjoyed listening to this book and came away with some good ideas. Marie Kondo's book Spark Joy has been very popular of late, and I have always liked her advice which goes something like, "Keep only that which you regularly use or really love." Kondo's method includes sifting through stuff and deciding to keep only that which "sparks joy." But what if there is too much joy (and therefore still too much stuff)? What if all that decision-making feels exhausting? What if it's all too emotional? What if it's paralysing because it all takes too long and keeps getting interrupted?
Dana White has some far more quick-and-easy, highly practical strategies in this book for every room in the house, and indeed, for the house itself, that solve the problem of loving too much or seeing too much 'possibility' in things we just might need 'one day.' She offers less emotional and more objective solutions. I especially liked her "container concept" and her "procrasi-clutter phenonenon." It's about living with space limitations and making things fit into the spaces you have, rather than adding more spaces for the things you want to keep.
Her simple strategies really make sense. Her principles are easy to understand, remember, and transfer to any and all situations. Following her method will improve the enjoyment of the spaces you live in, assist in keeping things clean, and help you find things that you need more quickly. She also includes chapters on how to help children, spouses, and downsizing parents with their decluttering, without being bossy or naggy. Highly recommend!

It's been busy around here as we continue our daily animal care chores, our regular 7-6 jobs, and our special projects for the animals ~ the dog yards/rooms are our largest undertaking yet! We were able to take a break this past weekend with the opportunity to introduce some wonderful animal advocates to our golden oldies! Leo had a chance to meet his shelter angel Renee and two of her friends in person, and darn it if I didn't get out the camera....
Renee also brought wonderful treasures including cat food, cat toys and beds, and dog food. The animals were excited to meet everyone, with Scooter charming as always, the dogs happy to enjoy hugs, and Leo cuddling in Renee's arms ~ a really neat moment! What was just as amazing was to watch the "Lil' Old Lady Coffee Club" when they got new beds. MeiLi snuggled right in, Maggie curled up after inspecting them, and Cameron, well as you can see, she enjoyed a photo opportunity with a purr of satisfaction!
I'm happy to report that Cameron's latest recheck of her labwork shows that the supplements and subcutaneous fluids have lowered her kidney values considerably ~ 2 of the 3 numbers are normal! I don't know how long it will last, but that coupled with weight gain - she's now 5lbs - are good signs for her future. She is on a new antibiotic for her high white blood cell count which seems to be helping too. This perky little girl runs to the fridge as fast as Scooter!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Center for Democratic Deliberation (CDD) at Penn State has been awarded a $334,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Challenge Grant to continue and expand its successful initiatives in education, research, and public outreach and to become a national leader in the field of deliberative democracy in the 21st century. The College of the Liberal Arts and The Center for Democratic Deliberation will pursue philanthropic efforts to raise matching funds of $1 million to extend the work and influence of the Center in civic education and rhetorical scholarship and outreach nationally and internationally.
The CDD was founded in 2006 as a nonpartisan, interdisciplinary center for research, teaching, and outreach on issues of civic engagement and democratic deliberation.
''With the help of the NEH Challenge Grant and the philanthropic support of alumni and friends, we plan to create a permanent endowment for the CDD, supporting both ongoing projects and new initiatives in research, public scholarship, rhetorical and civic education, and new media,'' said J. Michael Hogan, CDD co-director and the liberal arts research professor of communication arts and sciences.
The collapse of bipartisanship in Washington, D.C., and state capitals threatens the health of our economy and our nation. As a partner in the Penn State Democracy Institute, The Center for Democratic Deliberation plans to continue developing new knowledge and training for legislators, policymakers, voters and students to improve debate, discussion and governing on key issues such the debt ceiling and gun control legislation.
The CDD has had a significant impact on undergraduate and graduate education at Penn State, experimenting with changes to basic speaking and writing courses. This fall, under the leadership of CDD co-director Debra Hawhee, the Center debuted a two-semester honors course combining writing and public speaking and focusing on written, oral, and digital modes of communication on civic and political issues.
CDD began as a collaborative partnership between prominent faculty in English and communication arts and sciences who are experts in rhetoric studies. Today, about 50 Penn State faculty from across many disciplines including political science and information technologies are affiliated with the Center. Among its projects is Voices of Democracy, an online resource with texts, audio and video clips, and other materials for undergraduate college teachers nationwide to build classroom lessons around great speeches and debates in U.S. history. In collaboration with the National Constitution Center, CDD faculty has helped to develop high-school programs using Internet videoconferencing technologies to bring together diverse group of students nationwide to discuss Constitutional controversies.
Hogan, who is the principal investigator on the grant, said, ''The NEH Challenge Grant will enable us to expand future themes such as how the rhetorics of religion and science inform or confuse public issues, and when does protest and dissent undermine deliberation or become coercive? The next step is to build on existing strengths and develop opportunities using the latest information technologies, including cloud-based technologies and Web2.0 social networking and gaming tools, to promote a new vision of civic learning and engagement.''
The College of the Liberal Arts at Penn State has a tradition of successfully raising matching funds for NEH Challenge Grants to support the Richards Civil War Era Center and the Institute for the Arts and Humanities in their pursuit of national leadership in their fields.

text: Double L 3 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Community colleges answer Perry's callEducators say they can provide $10,000 degreeBy MELISSA LUDWIGSan Antonio Express-NewsFeb. 12, 2011, 10:28PMIs a $10,000 bachelor's degree possible?In his State of the State address this week, Gov. Rick Perry issued a challenge to universities to create a $10,000 bachelor's degree with textbooks included, an idea he reportedly picked up from Microsoft founder Bill Gates.Though many secretly scoffed, some education leaders say it can be done — quickly and with little extra money - at community colleges."We already have the facilities, the infrastructure, the doctorate faculty," said Bruce Leslie, chancellor of the Alamo Colleges. "You could take community colleges and do that without building a whole new infrastructure, or forcing existing four-year universities to downsize."Community colleges in 17 states, including Texas, already offer bachelor's degrees, most in applied technology areas that do not compete with universities. But that doesn't mean community colleges are unable - or unwilling - to expand."It is an idea that is long overdue," said Shirley Reed, president of South Texas College in McAllen.Programs in placeAccording to Reed, her two degrees in technology management and computer and information technology run about $10,000, not including textbooks. By contrast, the cheapest bachelor's degree at a four-year university is about $18,000 at Texas A&M University-Texarkana. That does not include books.South Texas, Brazosport and Midland colleges all offer bachelor's of applied technology degrees. State Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, has filed a bill to add a fire science degree at the Alamo Colleges to that list.But prospects look grim for all those degrees. The House's proposed bare-bones budget "zeroed out" all bachelor's degree programs at community colleges and eliminated funding for Brazosport College and three other community colleges altogether.According to Texas Commissioner of Higher Education Raymund Paredes, community colleges can be part of the solution, but universities must also find ways to hold down costs."If we keep going the way we are, a baccalaureate degree at a public university will cost $100,000 at some institutions in five years. We can't go there. The state does not have the resources, we are not going to have enough financial aid to cover those costs. We have got to find different models," Paredes said.Lower costsCommunity colleges keep costs low because they pay faculty and staff less money and they hire adjunct professors, who are cheaper than tenured faculty. They don't do research, they don't field NCAA football teams and they don't build dormitories and recreation centers.Those things are what make up the "college experience," and there will always be young students who want that and will pay for it, Paredes said. But there is plenty of evidence to suggest a growing demand from students who are older, who work, who have families and who simply want a degree as fast and cheaply as possible, he said."Nobody is talking about everybody offering this low-cost, no-frills degree. We are talking about providing students an alternative and reinventing higher education," Paredes said.He said he also worries that if community colleges begin offering liberal arts and sciences degrees, they will suffer from the same "mission creep" that has regional universities striving to be national research institutions.But Beth Hagan, president of the Community College Baccalaureate Association, said that community colleges can be selective about the degrees they offer.In Florida, for instance, community colleges offer baccalaureate degrees in high-demand fields such as nursing and education."I think it boils down to the mission. If a community college perceives there is a need for a particular degree, why not step up to the plate and meet that need?" Hagan said.http://firstname.lastname@example.com Edited February 13, 2011 by Double L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brent crude held steady above US$111 a barrel on Tuesday, less than a dollar off a one-month top hit in the previous session
Brent crude held steady above US$111 a barrel on Tuesday, less than a dollar off a one-month top hit in the previous session, on hopes a US budget crisis will be averted and on supply worries triggered by tension in the Middle East.
Global stock markets and commodities rallied on Monday, boosted by expectations for US lawmakers to reach a deal to avert US$600bn in tax increases and spending cuts due to start in January - the "fiscal cliff" that threatens to send the US economy back into recession.
Oil prices found additional support from the growing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Brent crude edged down 11 cents to US$111.59 per barrel by 0501 GMT, 61 cents away from the previous session's one-month top of US$112.20. US crude fell 21 cents to US$89.07.
"The overnight rally in the US equity market is still supporting the oil market, with ongoing tension in the Gaza Strip posing some geopolitical risks," said Natalie Rampono, a commodity strategist at ANZ.
"Even though the violence is not near oil-producing nations, the consensus is that it could lead to tension in the region... so I'm surprised that prices haven't rallied like they did in the past."
Big armoured bulldozers with blades tall enough to plough through houses and carve a path for tanks and infantry were lined up on Israel's border with Gaza on Monday, ready to invade if given the order.
Investors are waiting to find out if it will be truce or war. Mediator Egypt says a deal to end the fighting could be close. Israel says it is prepared to move troops into Gaza but prefers a diplomatic solution.
Optimism that debt-laden Greece will get more funding also helped brighten the outlook for oil demand, but price gains were checked as the euro fell after rating agency Moody's stripped France of its prized triple-A rating.
A stronger dollar makes commodities priced in the greenback less appealing to holders of other currencies.
"While there was not much news to trigger the rally, there are a lot of nervous investors who are underweight equities and other risk assets," Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets said in a note on Tuesday, referring to Monday's rally.
"Investors in this situation are very conscious of the positive event risk represented by a good outcome on the fiscal situation and the Greek government being successfully funded. In this situation, rising prices themselves attract investors nervous about missing out on a major rally."
Euro zone finance ministers will give a tentative go-ahead for the disbursement of €44bn in emergency loans to Greece on Tuesday, but the money will only be paid on December 5 if the country meets all remaining conditions.
Promising data from the United States, the world's top oil consumer, also helped keep oil prices near the peak reached in the previous session.
US home resales rose in October and a gauge of homebuilder sentiment climbed to a six-year high in November, signs of surprising vigour in the country's still-struggling housing market.
Traders are now eyeing US oil inventory data. A Reuters poll of analysts showed US crude oil stockpiles were expected to have risen by 900,000 barrels in the week to November 16.

Lesson Plan
Examining Plot Conflict through a Comparison/Contrast Essay
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Six 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Wakefield, Rhode Island
Students explore picture books to identify the characteristics of four types of conflict: character vs. character, character vs. self, character vs. nature, and character vs. society. Next, students write about conflict in their own lives and then look for similarities among all the conflicts shared by the class, ultimately classifying each conflict into one of the four types. Finally, after investigating the compare and contrast format, students conclude with a compare and contrast essay that focuses on two conflictsone from their own experience and one from a picture book or story that they have read.
Plot Conflict PowerPoint Presentation: This brief presentation introduces the plot diagram, and offers examples of each type of conflict.
Comparison and Contrast Guide: This student-centered online guide provides a thorough introduction to the compare and contrast essay format, including definitions, transitions, graphic organizers, checklists, and examples.
"Where do good writers come from? . . . [T]hey develop through creative instruction, caring adult models, well-structured peer interaction, and lots and lots of practice. But we also know, both from composition research, and from our own lives, that good writers also grow by reading" (58).
This testimonial from Harvey Daniels speaks directly to the power of using literature to teach writing. In this lesson, students are doing just that-They look at examples of plot development and conflict resolution as they grow into their own definitions. Building bridges from literature to writing, students then write their own piece about conflict resolution.

Wedding season is coming. many brides and grooms want to design their own jewelry to make their days special. There are many ways to put a personal spin on timeless traditions.The wedding ring, the ever-present representation of your loving union, is a great place to express your individual personality and style. There are endless ways from BBBGEM to create the unique wedding bands of your dreams.
First: Curved wedding band
If your engagement ring is low set or with unique design on the bottom of setting where the center stone sits, and it's been very difficult to find anything that will fit without creating a gap in between the rings, in that case, a curve band would sit flush against your ring without space as long as the curve is deep enough to fit with the setting. Attached a 3D rendering image for your comparison.
Second: Open,unique design wedding band.
In addition to curve wedding band, wedding band with space/gap also can fit well with the unique engagement rings, even sometimes more workable and easier than the curve one. For example indicate as the following photos, 3pcs Octagon Purple Amethyst engagement ring set, which has a big head of the main stone, the band cannot straightly match the main ring. In view of unique floral design, if match it with a curve band, there would be still a little bit of gap between them. But open band would work perfectly.
Besides the two unique wedding bands.There are some other rings the brides and grooms can consider: Micro pave half eternity diamond wedding band, it is straight, thin; Art deco wedding band, with diamonds halfway around, milgrain and marquise style; The Full eternity band, simple style or antique design,diamonds full away around.
It also shows for custom made wedding rings,style/design and whether it would fit well are the effects on what kind of the wedding bands customers would choose. Besides, affordable is most important as well. BBBGEM offers different kinds of cheap wedding bands with the price of around 300 USD, that's incredible but they are really in high quality and price reasonable.

The Spider-Man reboot The Amazing Spider-Man was a sizeable hit this summer at the box office, but the film was surrounded by an air of production troubles. The film was only director Marc Webb's second feature, and was a huge step up from his swell but small-scale debut (500) Days of Summer. A fair amount of reshoots took place, and when the film hit theaters we saw that much of the footage from the film's marketing (including the entire "Untold Story" storyline) had been removed from the finished pic.
Sony hired Transformers and Star Trek scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to rewrite the script for a sequel before the first film came out, but Webb's involvement in the follow-up was less clear. Though many assumed another director would be brought in to helm a more commercial (ie. action-centric) sequel, it now looks like Webb is coming back after all with his leads in tow. Hit the jump for more.
Though the involvement of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone was all but guaranteed for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Webb was a bit of a question mark. Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said in July that Webb might not direct the sequel due to "obstacles," which seemed like an interesting comment to make on the heels of the first film's success. We learned a few weeks later that Webb made a previous deal with Fox Searchlight to direct two movies for that studio, and with (500) Days of Summer fulfilled he still owed them one more feature. In short, Fox Searchlight wanted the now-hot Webb back and had first-claim on him before Spidey 2.
A solution was floated that Fox would let Webb direct The Amazing Spider-Man 2 if he agreed to helm two more films for Fox Searchlight instead of one, but we have no solid word on whether that kind of negotiation took place or not. What we do know is that Webb is confirmed to return for the webslinger follow-up, and I sincerely hope that he's given more creative freedom on this film than he was on the first reboot.
Amazing Spider-Man wasn't a bad film, but it was obvious that a fair amount of post-production tinkering and homogenization had taken place to streamline the pic for the widest of possible audiences. Webb showed tremendous promise with (500) Days of Summer, and the intimate character-centric scenes of Amazing Spider-Man were by far the best parts of the movie. Hopefully we see that developed further in the follow-up.
Sony notes that a deal is closed with Garfield to return as the titular superhero, while Stone is in talks to return as well and is expected to reprise her role as Gwen Stacy. She has effusively stated that she wants her character to meet the same fate that she does in the comics, so it'll be interesting to see how the arc progresses in the follow-up. We know that The Amazing Spider-Man was the first in a planned trilogy, so we can reasonably expect Spidey 2 to continue an arc that may or may not be fulfilled in Spidey 3.
Screenwriting credits for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 go to Kurtzman & Orci and Jeff Pinker (Fringe, Lost), based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man). Production is set to begin in early 2013, with the untitled sequel set for release in 3D on May 2nd, 2014.

The best studied class of dark matter candidates in Supersymmetric theories is the WIMP, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, which makes cold dark matter. There is a well-motivated alternative to the WIMP -- dark matter populated by decays of WIMPs. This dark matter from decays is closer in spirit to warm dark matter. They can be distinguished from cold dark matter by observations of structure on scales smaller than about a megaparsec, where cold dark matter models seem to face difficulty. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis predictions are also modified in interesting ways.

Did Mitt Romney run Bain Capital after 1999? Will voters care if he did, or didn't?
These questions arise due to recent news reports on Bain Capital SEC filings indicating that Mr. Romney retained control over the firm for years after his announced 1999 departure to run the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The Boston Globe reported on these documents this week, following stories by David Corn of Mother Jones and other journalists earlier in the month.
This might seem like political hair-splitting – what's three years, after all? But Bain Capital, during those years, was involved in investments in outsourcing firms and several job-killing bankruptcies. Romney doesn't want to be tied to those events – something the Obama campaign is trying to do.
"Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission], which is a felony, or he is misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments," said Stephanie Cutter, President Obama's deputy campaign manager, on Thursday in a conference call with reporters.
In the past, independent journalistic fact-finding organizations have found that the Obama team's attempts to link Romney to Bain's outsourcing investments are a stretch at best and deceptive at worst. They say nothing in the new revelations changes that judgment.
Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler called the SEC documents "relatively unimportant," and noted that Romney filed a federal financial disclosure form that states he had no active role in Bain during the years in question. A misstatement on the disclosure form would indeed be a felony, wrote Mr. Kessler.
"That filing would seem to trump these SEC documents," he concluded.
At FactCheck.org, Brooks Jackson cites a University of Pennsylvania law professor's opinion that there is no basis for the Obama camp's claim that Romney committed a felony on the SEC papers.
"None of the SEC filings show that Romney was anything but a passive, absentee owner during that time, as both Romney and Bain have long said," writes Jackson. "It should not surprise anyone that Romney retained certain titles while he was working out the final disposition of his ownership."
Does this mean the White House will have to abandon this line of attack? Ha! Haven't paid much attention to this election cycle, have you?
The Obama team may believe that forcing Romney to explain why he wasn't running Bain after 1999 is almost as good as actually proving that he was running Bain after 1999. That's because every day the word "Bain" shows up in headlines, it reminds voters of Romney's venture capital past – and it's a day when job loss numbers didn't dominate the national political conversation.
"Sure, Romney's name appeared on Bain's SEC filings. But he didn't make Bain's decisions. He only benefited financially from them," writes Slate political blogger David Weigel. "Now you see why the Obama campaign thinks it can drag this out over weeks and months."
But here's the not-little-secret about the 2012 campaign: So far, the daily stuff doesn't seem to matter. Bain, bad job reports, the US Supreme Court decision on health care, Mr. Obama's comment that the private-sector economy is "doing fine" – there's little evidence any of that has moved the polls one iota, according to Sean Trende, RealClearPolitics senior election analyst.
Since the end of the Republican primary season, virtually all major polls of registered voters have shown Obama slightly ahead of the presumptive GOP nominee. Virtually all surveys of likely voters have the candidates in a dead heat.
"This is a long way of pointing out that the various events in the campaign that journalists have focused on ... have done almost nothing to move this race," writes Mr. Trende.
Obama's attacks on Romney haven't been able disqualify the former Massachusetts governor for the presidency in the minds of voters – particularly white working-class voters, a group for whom Obama holds little appeal. Meanwhile, Romney's focus on job losses has ignored the fact that the economy isn't terrible. It isn't good, but it isn't horrendous at this point, either.
"Overall, we just haven't seen the type of event that would cause this campaign to break open one way or the other. If I had to bet, given the overall dynamics of the campaigns, I'd say we won't see much net movement until the end," writes Trende.

For over a century and a half, shame and silence were the most common Irish responses to the calamity of the Great Hunger. A million dead, a million fled was the old saying, but concern over igniting further strife in the present (a particular concern during the Troubles) kept a lid on most discussions of it. But now a new roadshow coming to the USA and Canada plans to give voice to the descendants of famine era Irish immigrants, many for the first time.
The roadshow is being funded by the Emigrant Support Program of the Irish government. Thanks to a new initiative from the both the National Famine Museum in Strokestown Park and The Irish Heritage Trust, a series of free open house events will be held in the USA and Canada where descendants of Irish emigrants and the general public are welcome to come together and share their family memories and stories of coming to America, especially during the period of the Great Hunger, which was 1845 to 1852.
The roadshow will visit New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New Haven, Toronto and Montreal, see the website at http://www.greatfaminevoices.ie for times and dates.

Early Movie Theaters
Springfield Leader, 24 July 1927, page 1.
First motion pictures brought to Springfield in 1906 by showmen
"Motion pictures are now the feature attraction at each of Springfield's half dozen show houses. A quarter of a century ago they were unknown and only a few residents here had even seen a moving picture. Twenty-one years ago, early in 1906, the first picture came to Springfield, brought by a pair of roving showmen who were forced to leave after a few months because it was not a paying proposition.
"These pioneer motion picture operators are now unknown. Nobody remembers even their names. They set up their little hand-operated projecting machine in a vacant storeroom next door to the old Baldwin Theater, on St. Louis Street, where the McDaniel building now stands. Their pictures were only one and two reels in lengh usually wild western thrillers as the feature picture in two reels, with a one-reel slapstick, pie throwing comedy as an added attraction.
"Interest died and with it the crowds after curiosity had subsided. The room contained only 150 seats and an admission price of 10 cents was charged. Then the two adventurers moved on to some other town.
"It was not surprising that the first attempt to bring moving pictures to Springfield was unsuccessful, according to N. J. Cunningham, who now occupies the position of being the oldest motion picture operator in Springfield. The first pictures were very unsatisfactory. They were streaked and 'rainy', they flickered and blurred on the screen. They were continually halted by breaks in the film and trouble with the machine. People were not satisfied. They came once but did not come again, after their curiosity had been satisfied.
"The St. Louis street attempt was followed soon after by a show house on College Street, across from the fire department run by 'Cap' Peabody, combining pictures and vaudeville in the theater called at various times the Mecca, Electric, Peoples and other names. The Gem theater, across from the Metropolitan Hotel, also owned by 'Cap' Peabody, took up the new pictures.
"In 1909, within a few months of each other, three houses opened on South Avenue within a few blocks of each other. One was started by the firm of Levy, Doggrell & Balsley in a building where the Tuttle-Scott shoe store now stands. Another was opened on the northwest corner of South Avenue and Walnut Street by Mick Hayes and the third, which finally survived and acquired the distinction of being Springfield's first successful motion picture theater, was built by D. J. Fox and was called the Aladdin and stood where the Brownie Book store now is.
"The first two lived only a short time. The Alladin, soon purchased by H. S. Gardner, became a very popular place. He later got into a controversy with the electric light company and lost his ownership.
"It was then taken over by H. M. Thomas and L. W. Seaman. In 1910 Mr. Seaman sold his interests to N. H. Cunningham and in 1911 Thomas & Cunningham sold out to Levy, Doggrell & Balsley.
"Thomas & Cunningham arranged for the establishment of the Jefferson Theater and started operating in September 1911. They had taken over the present site of the Jefferson which formerly had been a skating ring, then a garage. The building on Jefferson Avenue was acquired and used as a lobby and entrance as at present. The building proper is of course far back from the street and would have been practically worthless had it not been turned into a theater.
"W. W. Smith opened the Grand at the southeast corner of the square in 1910. The Star at 321 Boonville Avenue also was opened in 1910 by George Olendorf.
"The north side Princess, then on the south side of Commercial Street, the second door east of Benton Avenue, was opened by a group of north side business men as a civic pride enterprise. It was taken over eventually by S. E. Wilhoit, who built the present Princess in 1917, discontinuing the old Princess.
"The old Diemer Theater, over the Prescott laundry, showed pictures occasionally, but was more of a play house.
"The Alhambra opened in 1915 in the Elks Arcade where the Piggly-Wiggly store now operates but lived only a short time. The Electric opened in 1917 at its present location. The Aladdin was discontinued at the time the Electric opened.
"The Landers was built in 1908 a year after the old Baldwin burned but has been showing pictures only during the last few years.
"Mr. Cunningham pointed out a number of the old stars of the first pictures shown in Springfield, many of whom are still prominent. 'Those were the days', Mr. Cunningham said, 'when Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, John Bunny, Alice Joyce, Maurice Costello, Mary Pickford, Julia Gordon, Margaret Clark and other old stars were getting their start. The slapstick pie-throwers usually appeared at the College Street theaters.'
"H. M. Thomas, one of the pioneer theater operators who showed moving pictures to Springfield fans, now is with the Paramount Pictures Corporation at Toronto, Canada, Mr. Cunningham said."

Slightly more than half of you (83 votes, or 54%) said never.Where do I weigh in? I was in the "let the author do it" camp until this discussion, because I made changes to one of my own books. But I'm surprised to find myself shifting into the "never" camp, albeit cautiously.
Among those who felt it might be worth it to change a classic book, we see a strong belief that an author alone retains the right to change the story. Fifty-nine voters (38%) thought it would be appropriate to update if the author were still alive and wanted the changes.
Twenty-eight (18%) thought it would be permissible to revise a classic children's book if the publisher included a note in the re-issue explaining the reasoning behind the change.
Fifteen of you (9%) thought it would be okay to update if the changes made were incidental rather than integral to the plot, and fifteen (9%) more were amenable if the copyright holder (a descendant) were still alive and authorized the changes.
It's worth a read through the comments to understand the "never" camp's arguments. Part is aimed at those of us who write, because all authorial cheeks burn while re-reading our earlier work. Do we have the guts to let mistakes stand, own them, and even discuss them publicly as part of our call to mentor the next generation of storytellers? Maybe a "what I wish I could change" or "using my book as discussion" section should be a standard feature of an author's website (featuring those books out of print, for those earning our rice from writing.) No matter how much an author wants to retain control over a story, once it begins the dialectical dance with a reader, it's out of our hands. Our primary job is to focus on telling the next story while we have breath.
The remaining bits of the "never" argument boil down to a call to shepherd a child through books from the past so that she can enjoy and learn from them. That's what I attempted as teacher and parent. But did I succeed? I'm not sure. No matter how large or small an adult gatekeeper looms in the background, ultimately the meaning and message stays between a particular child and that story.
Here's where the caution comes in. Keeping my eye on the margins, I have to re-post the video "A Girl Like Me," a 7-minute exploration of girls and skin color written and directed by a sixteen-year-old filmmaker, Kiri Davis, and produced by Media Matters. As you watch, remember that the children choosing the dolls aren't much older than six or seven. They live in supportive communities in Los Angeles, California. How did they already internalize the message "dark skin = bad" and "light skin = good?"
Creators and packagers of children's stories, whether in film or in print, must strive to be aware of the messages we're endorsing consciously and subconsciously. Nobody wants to be didactic these days, but all stories are laced with values. It's the nature of the beast.
(Postcript about Babar: In Alison Lurie's December 16, 2004 article in The New York Review of Books, The Royal Family, she wrote that "Laurent de Brunhoff has regretted his early drawings of African 'savages'; he decided years ago that Babar's Picnic will never be reprinted.")

DOVER — The Dover High School girls basketball team did well to rally from a 13-point deficit on Friday night against Salem.
Unfortunately for the Green Wave, the hole they found themselves in was of their own making, and they weren't able to recover. Salem held on for a 67-63 win as the Division I regular season entered its second half.
"We clearly dug ourselves a big hole early," Dover coach Dan Casey said. "Salem's shooting was on early and we weren't able to get out on them. That takes so much energy out of you. It's kind of disheartening at times."
Dover standout junior center Molly Wotton left the game early in the third quarter with a concussion. At the time, the Green Wave trailed by six points. Wotton left the gym in street clothes before the end of the game and is out indefinitely.
"She's a big presence inside," Casey said. "We like to get the ball in to her when she's in there, but we've played stretched without her and make some good runs with other people on the floor. We have kids who can step up and produce."
That's what happened for Dover (5-5) in the fourth quarter. After struggling to find their offensive groove for most of the first three quarters, the Green Wave went on a 15-2 run midway through the fourth quarter to tie the game, during which five different players scored.
"We were being more aggressive," said Dover sophomore forward Mercedes McDermott, whose steal led to a layup by Molly St. Germain that knotted things at 54-54 with 3:28 to go in the contest, the first time it was tied since 2-2 in the game's opening minutes. "We had better passes in the fourth quarter and we stopped turning it over as much."
Salem's Emily Hickey hit her third 3-pointer of the night to put the Blue Devils (6-4) up 57-54. Then McDermott converted a 3-point play to tie it again with 2:42 to play.
"Dover hit some nice shots," Salem coach Anne Alosa said. "Overall, they did a nice job maintaining their composure. The ball's going to swing one way or another, but it was a fun game to play."
Salem got the lead back up to four (63-59), then Dover's Abby Tilton cut it to two with a pair of free throws at the 1:25 mark. The Green Wave then caught a break when Skylan Longtin missed the front end of a one-and-one, but Dover wasn't able to get the tying bucket on the other end of the floor. Salem hit 4 of 7 free throws down the stretch to shut the door on the Green Wave.
"We kept coming at them," Casey said. "We gave ourselves a chance. Every game in Division I is a dogfight. Tonight didn't go our way but it wasn't for lack of effort at the end of the game."
The game featured six scorers in double figures. Katie Boyatsis led Dover with 19 points, Tilton scored 13 and McDermott 11. For Salem, Hickey led all scorers with 23 points, Amanda Bickford scored 14 and Alexandra Sirmaian added 13.
"We were confident that we'd be able to come back and take a lead, but we didn't want to get too confident," Tilton said. "I wasn't taking it strong to the basket in the first half."
The Green Wave fell behind early in the first quarter, thanks to a combination of a large number of missed shots and the fact that Salem was hitting everything from the outside. Hickey hit three long-range jumpers and Bickford connected on a pair of buckets. Sirmaian and Hickey each hit 3-pointers, and the Blue Devils led 19-13 at the end of the frame.
Dover's shooting woes continued in the second quarter as Salem opened the stanza on a 7-2 run. The Green Wave finally found some offensive consistency with a 7-0 run over the final 90 seconds. Boyatsis hit a 3-pointer and a layup and Wotton hit a pair of free throws. She scored seven points before she was concussed. Salem led 33-29 at halftime.
Dover is off until next Friday when it visits Timberlane.

Mich. churches win injunction in health care case
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A federal appeals court has granted Michigan's Catholic churches a temporary halt to the contraception coverage mandate in President Barack Obama's health care law.
MLive.com reports (http://bit.ly/Kl2J3N ) a 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel voted 2-1 in an order Tuesday to grant a preliminary injunction against government enforcement of the mandate pending a full appeal.
The Michigan Catholic Conference and Catholic Charities say the mandate in the Affordable Care Act violates constitutional protections for religious freedom.
The 6th Circuit decision was one of several rulings issued by federal judges before the start of the new year, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who decided late Tuesday to block implementation of the contraceptive coverage requirement.
Government officials have until Friday to respond to Sotomayor's emergency stay.
